The fighting game community is slowly but surely adopting 360hz monitors due to PC being the main platform now. It's not rare to have two players pressing a button at the same time, and the player with the least input delay wins, and it's been proven than the higher the refresh rate, the lower...

You're talking to a wall, they won't accept that more FPS means less input lag and better performances.

It does because there are jumps that require you to have more, way more FPS than 100. CoD had a notorious one. CSGO too. 1 frame = 16ms~. So more like around 50ms, which is considered as a bad ping for today's standard. Players can feel a 1 frame difference in fighting games, not because they...

Many commands weren't allowed in CS 1.x because it could give you an unfair advantage. You could disable those server-side, so it's never a problem. As for more FPS = supposedly unneeded, there is no rule about that. In Quake Champions 250 FPS might give you better results than 280 FPS, because...

GN didn't remove the top cover in their test, they only tried the 3 different positions. I get what you're saying, don't get me wrong, I will first try without removing the top cover to see how it goes, but I've read benchmarks with a 20°C gain when it's completely removed. To be quite honest...

All the reviews I've seen or read expressly said that the top cover should be removed. The gain is around 15-20°C. And yeah, the 1650 Super is indeed super loud while gaming, I've been told to check MSI Afterburner to create a curve to make it less noisy in some situations.

I see, I wouldn't have thought about not putting a single fan on top. By the way, I should mention that I won't use the hard drive cages, since it's possible to place two SSDs behind the motherboard. I will also remove the top cover and put a dust filter instead.

I will do that then, thanks. I kind of knew it and someone on Overclock.net told me the same thing. I just bought the MSI MPG A650GF - 650W 80+ Gold. I'm aware that 650W is overkill, but it's a special offer for €80. Plus I might upgrade the GPU in the future, so why not. That means you'd only...

I just realized that I actually bought the High Speed version of the Pure Wings 3, which means it's a 3-pin connector. Doesn't seem to make a difference if I understood correctly what you said. As for the manual, it doesn't provide more than what's in the picture below:

I don't really mind controlling the fans manually, that's already what I'm doing with my current case, so nothing new. I'm more concerned about not being able to plug them without using a splitter than how I would control them.

Let's assume I won't be able to plug them without using a splitter, if I were to buy new fans, that means I should by ones that have 4-pin connectors, right?

What I found regarding the fans: I'm kind of lost to be quite honest, will I able able to plug them? The Pure Wings 3 is PWM (4-pins), the Pure Wings 2 is 3-pins. Also, I've been told that my PSU is super bad and should be replaced asap, any thoughts about that?

Hello, so I've got all the new parts for a futur build (listed in the spoiler below), and I was wondering if those old Zalman fans would be enough? I will use it for music production and some video games, nothing too demanding though. Here is the config for more details: - The case will be a...

Because they're cheap and robust, but objectivement speaking, they have a really weird FR. For monitoring it's fine, for gaming not so much. People buy what they've been told to buy.

HD 598 if you can find those. Most confortable headphones ever with a large soundstage, which is very valuable for FPS games. There is a version of the Fidelio X2HR that comes with a microphone mode. They are super versatile overall and very hard to beat for the price.

I don't know where you live, but if the wi-fi version is cheaper for you, then don't hesitate at all. It's by far the best B660M right know. Where I live the non wi-fi version is almost €30 cheaper. Good B660Ms are hard to find, and when they don't transform your CPU in an oven, they have...

Z & BadSeed aren't trusted reviewers, they have never provided a single proof to what they claim to hear. The ifi Zen DAC is perfectly fine and most people would be happy with it, but objectively speaking? It's too expensive and there are better alternatives.

The ifi Zen DAC doesn't have good measurements. The DAC part isn't great and it has tons of distortion. Same goes for the air version. There are better products that cost less, like Topping, Schiit, SMSL, Sabaj or JDS...

Perfect then, I'm gonna use it on a 12600K too. Thanks

I did read some reviews but I wanted to ask here anyway, because most reviews don't give any measurements, hence the question. Great then, thanks.

So, I just received the frame and it came with the thermal paste called "TF7" (by Thermalright). I wanted to know if this paste was any good? If it could mean not buying a new tube, I'd be happy.

That might sound really stupid considering disinfectants exist, but since there is a pandemic I'd rather avoid second-hand phones.

It's a Chinese brand, so I'd expect it to be available in many countries. I guess I was wrong then haha. Perfect, thanks. Looks interesting!

Regarding the Realme 8, is there a strong contender in the same price range (~ €160/€180) in Europe?

First of all, thanks for all the answers. I kind of knew that I needed a new phone, but if I could get around with my current one... For my budget, the lower the better, I have tried the Realme 8 and it seemed pretty decent and not too expensive. My goal is to keep it as long as possible, I...

Hello, I own a Wiko Rainbow Jam 3G, which came out in 2015 with Android 5.1. Because of my bank I need a more recent version of Android, the problem is the update won't work and I'm stuck with said version. My question is, is there a way to install a newer version manually? I don't really mind...

I'll keep that in mind. Thank you both for the answers!

I never thought about that, even though it makes a lot of sense 🤦‍♀️. May I ask you what you mean by optimizing the airflow though? Does it mean having more fans for instance? Edit: Sorry, didn't read the last sentence that well. What I meant, is there something else I could do to optimize it...

Sorry about that, it's just that French forums are way less active... They were using a 3950X, but I must say that I'm baffled by the fact that they usually do their testing with a motherboard that is outside of the PC case. I'll probably get a dual tower air cooler then, since my PC case...

I've heard about the Thermalright, but it's €60 here (France), which is not exactly in the same price range. I'll consider it anyway, thanks.

Hello, I'm looking for a CPU air cooler for a 12600KF, and I came to the conclusion that a DeepCool AK620 would be fine. Though, there are two versions of the same cooler, which are the single tower version (AK400) and the dual tower's (AK620). According to Gamers Nexus, when it comes to...

Genuine question, is there a reason to buy two frames? Anyway, thanks for the confirmation that it is the Thermalright. Edit: In case it can help someone, it's available here for €10 + free shipping to Europe.

Hello, I was browsing Amazon & co and I stumbled upon some references: https://www.amazon.fr/s?k=correcteur+de+flexion+PC&__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&ref=nb_sb_noss The "problem" that I have is that it's mainly unknown Chinese brands, how safe is it? There is the Thermalright...
